Palasesto 6.45 am. This is the meeting with Giorginho (I'll call it, the Brazilian for his attacking runs intoxicating in blue). Freezing cold already Sixth, let alone in the ass to the wolves where we go. Tank full, almost empty pack of cigarettes, but then you play today and then just smoke. Ginho arrives on time, begins the effort to keep us two bags in the trunk. Ok we're here, we go. Open road, little traffic, Ginho immediately begins to rattle beads culture aerospace, astronomy, philosophy, German, French and the predominant Milan, for now nothing scorengie (which is not well?). Villadossola I realize that I have not even turned on the radio. Ginho is an infinite resource. Hot tea in the middle valley and then to the arrival in perfect Antrona orario.Gli other Chiefs arrive in dribs and drabs and there is more to the bar for a coffee or a hot punch. In fact, the thermometer outside says -9 ° C.
First game ever between the Chiefs and will be the Swiss Red Cross. Coaches Ale and Luca are beginning to take early advice, "Start slowly, studying the opponents, then we see if it is to push the case with the Swiss do not mess around." Ginho scorengie begins with the first, good sign! Three lines are almost complete, the Swiss are much less than us.
Engagement, the game begins. Initial stages of study, more skirmishes that actually happens. We begin to take confidence, we can play there. First sink more determined. Came the first goal. Score Bertelli, Bertocchi and Brizio. Take courage and begin to spin the disc well, the changes run media, the defense held, the attack constantly worried about the Swiss. Do not lose concentration and still marked with the Todi (2 goals) and Mimmo. Let's finish the match 6-0. Wow hardly believe it. However, three points on the farm. Now it's up to
Ossola and Genoa. Infinite game. 0-0 in regulation, then sudden death penalties after half an hour and still 0-0. It can not anymore. The arbitrator decided for a draw, you can not waste any time. 1 point each. Genoa, 99 is already beginning to be noticed and not for his liking.
Tap again to us with Genoa. The dressing room is a bit 'tense, have proven the Ligurian organized and in both hard and 99 could ignite tempers. Here also rained the advice of the coach "Let's skate, there are few, playing wide, maybe we can get tired before sinking the shots" and even "open eyes in defense, prudence, not too scopriamoci", "we do not react to any provocation, are their less than us. " In fact, the opponents show physically prepared, well-placed, rough from the start. The minute run and there are scores. Gradually take more and more field are now struggling to get out of the blue. Then finally the goal of Luke. On one zero for the souls we get hot, 99 begins to kick, beat, elbowing. Came the first two minutes of penalty for him. When you return, up a flight of Luke on the left, 99 beats strong from top to bottom and the stick breaks in two of Luke. Pigs rain as a tropical storm and Luke must appeal to all its forces to not use the stick as a sigmoidoscope stump for 99. After this episode, the ending is already written, it's just a matter of time. Another two-minute penalty for Genoa player, then return to play the Brizio the opportunity to settle the issue during a check, and so Arnold Schwarzenegger said Arnald, Tyson was as part of the golden days. 99 lying on the ice penalty for both game and general cheering now that everyone (including the public) they can no longer view of the misconduct.
The game resumed after a scuffle, heated discussion, promises of post-game meetings not exactly friendly. There are perhaps a bit distracted ', cows and pigs, the Genoa equalized. Back in Training. The Chiefs skate, push, pull, work hard, together, all the lines. The Genoa resists large (very few do not forget), then a raid of Mimmo, the giant Cernusco Lombardone a few minutes to open a hole in the defense of Genoa must capitulate. 2-1 and the game ends. 3 more points farm. What's the story 'sti Chiefs!
We sling the restaurant, hunger is felt, are 14.30, the thermometer rose to -2 ° C. Several toast Arnie (Arnaldo) for her performance and then stick with fettuccine and shin, the classic menu dell'hockeista, light and rich in carbohydrates. In the meantime, we lose Puggio that must fall for a commitment, Todisco (ditto) and even a shoe Marco Parenti sacrificing to the cause. Rupture of the blade support and stop the blow to the thigh for the last game. The coaches start thinking about how to organize new lines. Ossola Meanwhile back on the field with the Swiss, playing the Tritagiasch take home with respect. The Swiss play if the then with the Genoa and they lose their last race. Rounding out the tournament with zero points. The Genoa
closes the tournament with 4 points, more than the defeat for Schwarzenegger with ko! The last game between us (6 points) and Tritagiasch (4 points) that is critical to the outcome of the tournament.
indeed meet the two teams that showed the best available in the field who have the longest lines and the best personality. It is played with artificial lighting as the sun is already largely fallen behind the mountains. The lighting creates a problem since the cover of the headlights is not perfect, but this applies for both brackets.
The dressing room smells like a corpse tropical humidity, and this encourages us to go out and face the Ossola, Gignho still scorengiare, now we can do it. The temperature of -7 ° C. says The coach pulled out of the hat a new structure: two lines of defense against fear (Vito, Beppe, Arnold and Philip) six wings, two top level (Luke and Brizio) two well-established (ibid. and Stephanie) and two newly appointed (The Reggi and Gignho) and two centers (Mimmo and Berta). Porter served clothware (their second). The game begins with a referee from outside the field of Hilary as all the others are at home or take a shower. Minutes pass and the formations are studied without finding out too. Few real chances, but the match is true, but by no means unfair competitive. We fight on every disc. The exhortations from the bench, the pats on the back and still hold high the advice everyone's attention. Incredibly not we fall asleep as the Agora. We're still not sated. We have a goal midway through the second time with Brizio. Maybe we can do it. Grit your teeth is imperative that everyone screams and think. Nothing to do, Ossola deservedly equalized just minutes from the end. 1-1 and penalties. No one realizes that the tournament is won, however, that we understood only later. Everyone thinks only to bring home the third win. Start the lottery of penalties: the sequence should be: Ossola (saved), Beppe (saved), Ossola (saved), Arnaldo (Goal), Ossola (goal), Brizio (saved with incazzatura groundhog in the middle of the field behind the track, to which the record has plugged the tunnel - the course Brizio has sworn that he had targeted his gallery Groundhog) Ossola (Goal), Luke (goal), Ossola (Goal), Berta (saved) and the end of the tournament. Tritagiasch to win the match and 2 points (total 6) and a point to us (total 7). Victory for the Chiefs with pictures of the two teams in the midfield and the galactic scorengia Gignho that caused the effect cheeeseee "for all players. Ossola
Thanks for the warm welcome and the hot tea in the afternoon, thanks to the Swiss for the great sportsmanship, thanks to Genoa for the effort and thanks to its finding that Gignho proverbial air just in time, gave a turning point in the tournament.
